x\left(-x^{3}+5x^{2}-5x+4\right)
Factor out x.
\left(x-4\right)\left(-x^{2}+x-1\right)
Consider -x^{3}+5x^{2}-5x+4. By Rational Root Theorem, all rational roots of a polynomial are in the form \frac{p}{q}, where p divides the constant term 4 and q divides the leading coefficient -1. One such root is 4. Factor the polynomial by dividing it by x-4.
x\left(x-4\right)\left(-x^{2}+x-1\right)
Rewrite the complete factored expression. Polynomial -x^{2}+x-1 is not factored since it does not have any rational roots.
